day, although it failed to reach the
heavy total of that day. There was an
irregular opening, though the changes
from last evenings final figures in no

ally in the forenoon. Lackawanna
however, was conspicuous exception
to this. and it was joined by the Jersey
Central towards noon After that time,
the market became strong throughout
Reading becoming prominent, and later
the Western Union. The advances met
with no serious setback, and toward
the close several specialties were ad
Vanced sharply, and strong, at about
the best figures of the day.

A COUP D. ETAT.
How the Little Great Men of the
"N0ble and Holy" Managed.

The recent submission of the new
constitution of the X. of l.. to the
assemblies Cat least, some of them)
and the announcement of the result,
was II piece of business worthy of the
third Napoleon. The new constitu-
ton gives the central body more
power than ever, and makes the ma
joritya mere machine to supply the
executives with money.
But what is the use of criticising?
The assemblies which arc composed
of men or women of intelligence will
refuse to be robbed of their inalien-
able rights by this Napoleonic and
ignorant expression, and will pro-
claim their disregard of the vote rs
unconstitutional, against common
sense and opposed to progress.
And where an assembly thought
lessly adheres to the fetish, it will be
the duty of self-respecting members
to withdraw.
There are some questions which it
is crime to vote upon, and one of
them is the one involving the sacri-
flee of the intelligent will of the
people to the petty whims of the
great men of the Order.
The hog, Bismarck, could hardly
have conceived of a more monarch C Il
law than the one which would pre-
vent open criticism of "leaders" who
are paid by the members-who live
upon the pennies of the poor. But
under the new constitution one
must not speak disrespectfully of
the aristOcrats of the order.
1t may as well be considered set
tied that the Order of the knights
of Labor will soon be outside the
pale of the labor movement.

The Semi.annual Conference Mt Rock.
Vile Last Week.

Every section in the Western New
England District of the Sociallstic
Labor Party was represented at the
conference held in Rockville last Sat
urday. The reports of delegates
were generally favorable The con
ference recommended the Sections
within this district to instruct the
delegates to the National Conven-
ton in regard to the WORKMEN 5

the party, to do their utmost for in
crcaslng its field and influence. Sec
ton Hartford reported having placed
$40. Is toward the WoRHMEN's AD-
yocATE fund, Holyoke having pre-
viously reported like contribution.
The Sections were also recon-
mcnded to unite in making arrange
ments for systematic agitation tour
by Walter Nrooman during Septcm-
Der, and the District committee was
instructed to seek the cooperation
of the Eastern New England Dis
trict for this purpose.
The conference was mously
in favor of working in friendly emu
lation with the Labor party, seeking
ever to establish sound social demo-
cratic principles, and assisting the
political labor movement by all hon
orable and consistent methods and
means in their power. 1t was also
unanimously resolved to labor with
renewed activity for the spread and
growth Of the SociaIistic Labor
Party.
Two delegates to the National
Convention at Buffalo will be sent
from this district. to be elected by
general vote.
The Conference was pronounced
the most interesting and imposing
one ever held in this district, and
three sessions were held.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1887-07-09
CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
POWderly's Resignation and the Fool.
ish Talk About Il Successor.

Again there is talk of Mr.. Pow
derly's resignation, and again there
are speculations as to his successor.
If it is simply to put another in his
place, the X. of l.. may as well make
up It's mind that the change will do
no good. 1t is change of system
that is needed. A democratic system
and solid political agitation against
the rotten parties and their heeIers
inside the Order will do the right
kind of work, and purge the labor
movement, rs far as the X. of l.. is
concerned. Another man is apt to
be as weak as Powderly, or he may
be even worse. Change the system.
